As long as I don't have to spend it on food, taxes, bills, gas, and other things like that. Those are things I have to budget in real life for. In a game, I should be able to splurge with minimal consequences. Because it's a game.

Yes, we can buy cars!! I Always wanted that, to buy and own a car. Afcourse you could Always steel one and put it in your safehouse but still... its different.

Hasn't this been discussed a whole bunch in this forum? Owning your cars is not the same as stealing cars at random. If I customize a car (or cars), which I will, I do want to own it and I do want it to persist in my inventory.

 

I didn't understand GTA-SA, where you could make a nice customized car, costing significant game money, and then if it gets wrecked, it's gone. I don't mind paying repair bills or insurance to keep my customized cars, but it makes no sense for it to be disposable.

 

OP, thanks, I am glad to hear confirmation of these aspect of the GTAV economy. These are the things I hoped for and they will add great replay value and long term goals to the game.

From Gameinformers preview: If you successfully pull off these heists, you can walk away with millions of dollars to spend on luxury vehicles, helipads, marinas, businesses, weapons, aesthetic and performance car customizations, or even properties (a reversal of position for Rockstar, who previously told us you wouldn't be able to buy homes).

buying cars is a good step forward. gone are the days driving around trying to find the car you want.

 

and businesses is good. and i'm sure they'll be turf wars.

 

does this mean each character will have their own bank accounts? or will the property/cash be divided between them?

If I remember correctly, I think I saw that each one will have their own accounts. That being said, sure as hell dont quote me on that, my memory is pretty horrid.

This^

 

I'm also thinking that it could mean that R* have "fixed" the ratio's for cars spawning!

 

Someone here posted the perfect math for car spawns so that it is no extra strain, but we also don't have 100s of the car we are currently driving spawn round us!

 

It will de-value our buy if we can simply buy one of a certain car, drive to safe house, save, then run to the road to steal another as the road is now full of them.

Don't worry, you're right, each character has separate bank accounts.

 

I know we've known this for a while buy I'm really happy we can buy cars. Crazy right? Buying cars in a game called GRAND THEFT AUTO but I want a car to call my own. I hope cars we legally own will never disappear. Maybe they will get picked up from wherever you leave them and you'll get a call saying you need to head to the garage to pick t up for however much $$$$

While i think buying cars will be good (if they make buy able cars rare spawns).. but i think they should still be destroyed if you properly blow it up!

 

It will ruin the feeling of "FUUUUCK MY CAR!!!!!" if it is still in your garage regardless of what condition it was in after smashing off the highway, rolling down a cliff, then sinking in the sea..! You just need to learn not to blown up your prized motor!:p

 

In IV i have killed many a man (or woman) for scratching my freshly washed motor because they were too stupid to drive round me!! I get out the car, look around for damage, see a mark and loose my sh*t lol!

I'm hoping property's work similar to how they do in Omerta: City of Gangsters, where you buy empty property's that are split into category's... so for example if you buy one type, you have the option of turning it into a bar... a restaurant... a strip club etc.. same goes with warehouse type spaces.

 

**edit** Also picking Legit, or Illegal activitys/businesses to fill these spaces both have their ups and downs.... so you need to be thoughtful as to what you have an how many... Ie fill all your properties with Cannabis farms and/or Brass Houses and you will soon have the FIB on your back (or some GTA version of DEA.)

I hope this is right. It was humorous at times when your car would spawn like crazy when you got it, but it would be annoying if you bought a really nice one only to see it tons of times after.
